Preview: Barnet

The Reds host Barnet on Saturday at the Checkatrade Stadium, where both clubs will be looking to maintain their unbeaten start in EFL 2 this season.

Two wins and a draw from the opening three games of the new campaign is an admirable return for Reds, especially given the nature of tough trips to Doncaster Rovers and Exeter City within the space of four days.

Josh Yorwerth’s winning goal in the 1-0 win over the Grecians in Devon on Tuesday evening means Dermot Drummy’s men occupy fourth position in the table ahead of the visit of Martin Allen and Barnet to RH11 this weekend.

Martin Allen’s men have made a positive start to the season. An opening day draw at Cambridge United was followed by a 2-0 home win against Accrington Stanley and a hard fought draw at home to Blackpool in midweek.

Former Reds striker John Akinde is the side’s top goalscorer so far this term – he scored in the win over Accrington, as well as the draw with the Tangerines in midweek.

We’ve Met Before:

The last meeting between the two sides saw the Bees triumph 3-0 at the Checkatrade Stadium on the final day of last season. A first-half goal from Elliott Johnson and a brace from Akinde meant Martin Allen’s men took the three points in Dermot Drummy’s first home game in charge of the Reds.

Before that, the other League meeting last season at The Hive ended in a 4-2 win for Allen’s men – goals from Mitch Hancox and Jimmy Smith were in vain as the Reds fell to a defeat.

In the 2011-12 League Two season Reds won 1-0 at home and 2-1 away.
